DDS plugin for GIMP

So I'm tyring to install this DDS plug in for gimp. I've done it before, but on this fresh install of Ubuntu I'm failing.

I extract the archive, then type make. This results in:

joel@Zetes:~/gimp-dds-3.0.1$ make
Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
Package gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gimp-2.0' found
[CC] dds.c
dds.c:27:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory #include <gtk/gtk.h> ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [dds.o] Error 1
joel@Zetes:~/gimp-dds-3.0.1$ 

So I'm missing package gtk+-2.0. This I can't find in either the software centre or with Synaptic.
